Michael,
Having seen the “new” photos of Khamenei posted today
http://news.search.yahoo.com/search/news?ei=UTF-8&p=Khamenei&datesort=1&c=images&b=11&fr=sfp&c=images&b=1
I am almost convinced you are right. Just look at that neutral blue background with Photoshop Lighting Effects, especially in this one:

You can reproduce it yourself. Put an old picture into photoshop, isolate the figure, put it against the background of a new layer of a single colour, and on the background layer go: filter > Render > Lighting Effects.
Have fun.
Faster, Please!
